Overview

This is the OEM defrost control board (part number 1173636) for the Tempstar T2H360GKD300 heat pump. The defrost control board is the brain of the outdoor unit's heating cycle. It monitors coil temperature and run time, then initiates and terminates the defrost cycle to clear frost and ice from the outdoor coil so the system can keep pulling heat in cold weather. It also coordinates the reversing valve, compressor, and outdoor fan timing. When this 24V board fails, the unit may stop defrosting (icing over), defrost too often, run the auxiliary heat constantly, or fail to switch between heating and cooling. Replacing it with a genuine OEM board restores correct defrost timing and protects the compressor.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the Tempstar T2H360GKD300 heat pump and other ICP-family outdoor units (Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire) that originally shipped with part 1173636. Always confirm the part number printed on your existing board before ordering.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching wiring.
  2. Access — Remove the outdoor unit's control panel cover to expose the board.
  3. Document — Photograph every wire and terminal on the existing board before disconnecting anything.
  4. Remove — Label and disconnect the low-voltage and sensor leads, release the board's mounting standoffs/screws, and lift out the old defrost board.
  5. Install — Mount the new 1173636 board, reconnect each wire to match your photo, and seat the defrost thermostat/sensor lead.
  6. Test — Restore power, place the system in heating, and confirm a normal startup and a test defrost cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Control Board fit my Tempstar T2H360GKD300 — 24V Heat Pump | Ships Today?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM control board for the Tempstar T2H360GKD300 — 24V Heat Pump | Ships Today. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the control board on my Tempstar T2H360GKD300 — 24V Heat Pump | Ships Today?
Difficulty: Advanced (1–2 hrs)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: PHOTOGRAPH all wire connections before touching anything. Step 3: Label each wire with tape. Step 4: Disconnect all wires, remove old board. Step 5: Mount new board, reconnect all wires matching your photo exactly. Step 6: Restore power and test all modes. Exact part number match is critical.
My HVAC system is completely dead. What could be wrong?
Completely dead HVAC (no LED on board) = failed control board or blown fuse. Check board fuse first (3A or 5A, costs $1–$5). If fuse is good and board has power but no LED, board is dead. Always photograph wiring before replacing.
Is this control board compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Tempstar control board?
OEM essential. Control boards are model-specific with precise firmware and connector layouts. Aftermarket boards rarely match all functions and can cause intermittent failures or safety issues. Always match the exact OEM part number.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM CST ship the same business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days anywhere in the continental United States. Express shipping available at checkout. We ship from Houston, TX to all 50 states. 30-day return policy on all parts.
